Up to now, most customers who win Jackpot prizes of Vietnam Computerized Lottery Company (Vietlott) have worn masks to ensure privacy and safety for their families. Each time Vietlott pays out prizes, it usually only announces the abbreviated name, place of residence and a masked image of the jackpot winner. However, there are still exceptions.

On April 8, at the Vietlott point of sale at 89/1 Bac Kan Street, Hoang Van Thu Ward (Thai Nguyen City), Vietlott organized the awarding of the Jackpot 2 prize in the Power 6/55 lottery worth more than 8 billion VND to Mr. D.VD in Thai Nguyen City.

Previously, in the Power 6/55 lottery drawing held on March 28, Vietlott's drawing council determined that there were 2 lottery tickets winning Jackpot 2, of which 1 ticket belonged to Mr. D.VD.

After deducting taxes as prescribed, Mr. D.VD received more than 7.2 billion VND in his account.

Mr. D.V.D said he is a retired soldier and is self-employed.

Sharing his plans for using the prize money, Mr. D. said he would share it with relatives, friends and do charity work, keeping only a portion for himself. For this reason, Mr. D.VD did not wear a mask while receiving the prize.
